14 cakes are needed because 832 divided by 60 equals 13.8667 and since it's impossible to get 13.8667 cakes you round the number upwards and you get 14

So 14 cakes are needed!

832/60 = 13.8666.....

The bakery will need to produce <u>14 cakes.</u>

This is because, assuming they can only produce whole cakes, they will need to produce 14 to ensure that everyone is fed.

Answer:   The number of balloons varies directly with the number of tables. The two variables are directly proportional. The relationship of balloons to tables is the ratio 5:1, where 5 is the constant of variation. Use the equation y = kx, where k is the constant of variation resulting in the equation y = 5x.

A student raises her grade average from a 75 to a 90. What was the percent of increase
son4ous [18]
This can be solved algebraically. Before we start, as context, to find a percentage you multiply by the percentage/100.

75*x=90 \\ x= \frac{90}{75}  \\  \\ \boxed{x=1.2}

This tells us that 90 is 120% of 75. However, your question wants us to find the <em>increase</em>, therefore we don't need that 100.
Therefore, the increase is 20%.

18/3 = 6 miles per hour running

18/2 = 9 miles per hour biking

3 hour bike = 27 miles

1.50 hour run (0.50 because 30 minutes is half of an hour) = 9 miles

27 + 9/3 + 1.50 = 36/4.5 or 8
